As an active member on Shelfari, this summer I participated in a Summer Romance Reading Challenge. I had the best time with this challenge and all it's members. We were taking up so much thread space on the Readers of Romance group that we made up another group just for the challenges. Some people are up for challenges and others find them restricting. I have all the time in world on my hands, so I LOVED it. I am about to do a wrap up on the books I read for the challenge. I thought it might be helpful if I posted the challenge and the books I chose to read. Should you want to read any of my reviews and see what rating I gave them. Just mouse over my shelf at the bottom of my Blog. Please note, I don't think I am some major writing expert and I tend to rate very easy. I use my emotions to make my decision some days.
